Financial Assistance Program

The Financial Assistance Program was created to provide
economically disadvantaged individuals access to recreational
facilities and programs. The primary focus awarding financial assistance is on youth between the ages of 2-17. Adults are encouraged to apply for assistance as well, however, limited funds are available.

Applications are available on-line, at the downtown
Parks & Recreation office located at 7th and Broadway and at the Activity & Recreation Center (ARC) located at 1701 W. Ash.

In order to qualify, interested participants need
to be a resident of the City of Columbia, complete
the application and provide documentation of all forms
of income. Eligibility is based on total household size and total household income.
